So it's clear by your post that the U.S.A. is not "trouble land" . Can land cause trouble, or are you suggesting that the people living in "trouble land" are the problem? I would like to send my loving kindness out to ALL the living beings in "trouble land". May no harm come to any living beings, may we all learn to live in peace and harmony.

This intricate Buddha sculpture, cast in brass, was among the items that Truman passed along to the Smithsonian Institution.

You can do a simple search for "Shiva" on any search engine and see the images that come up. The quote is obviously incorrect.I have never seen a Buddha displayed on a dead animal's skin like this. The imagery is identicial with Shiva, not Buddha.
